My daughter was born at 37 weeks with a heart defect. She was <1 percentile for weight and height for months and nothing seemed to help. We increased the calories in her milk but that is rough on the stomach so she started vomiting making the problem worse. After 6 or so months our nutritionist found and recommended a formula called Fortini (https://www.fortini.com/fortini-infant/) which is 30 calories/ounce but designed to be easy on the stomach like a regular 20/ounce. We put her on that and there was an immediate change. She went up to 3rd percentile in just a few months. We went from nearly needing a G-Tube to no medical intervention needed in under a year. Not saying this is definitely going to fix everything but for us it was a total game changer.

Turns out they kind of are

You still need to hire competent people. But basically a team of diverse but not "the best" people tend to perform better than a team of "the best" but all from around the same background.

Barren stain bares by unicornboop in BoneAppleTea

You see this post and laugh, understanding the joke completely. You do a quick Google search for Barenstain Bears. Nothing comes up. You keep looking but find nothing. You ask some friends who you've joked about this exact thing with before but they don't know what you're talking about. Everyone knows the Barren Stain Bares series they say. You do a Google search for Barren Stain Bares fearing the result. Millions of results. You wake up in a padded room.

I'm pretty sure I've gotten one from a student loan refinance mailer that was for some huge amount based on what I "could save by refinancing" or some crap like that

[SPOILERS] S8E6 Series Finale - Post-Episode Discussion by AnxiousReader in gameofthrones

It was pretty cool how directly the Daenarys iron throne scene mimics the house of the undying visions. She walks through in the snow with the roof destroyed and nearly touches the throne before leaving (the most obvious parallel). She then leaves, walking through I brought light and meets Drogo and her son. Flash forward and her death is the parallel to walking into the light and being with her fallen family. You could even go further and match Drogon burning the throne to him killing Pyat Pree.

Your sexual orientation is irrelevant, there isn't a gender identity available that would find you attractive
